Dear Jose Agnelo, There is unlikely to be one Goan who is not horrified by the events in Mumbai. I believe that most Goans and many people around the world are just numbed by the senseless violence against innocent people.
Merely condemning this brutality on GoaNet is not enough. We need to change our focus in life - for good. There are the losers who just jump up and down against this IFFI and that Portuguese week There are con-artists who swipe other people's land, and honour as philanthropists seek Others want to create division among us on the basis of religion While their own acts of vandalism are legion And while we ignorant fools are busy destroying each other The vandals are quietly killing our mother, father, sister and brother. When will we ever learn that Violence only begets more Violence and that senseless and disruptive 'alleged activism' makes negative sense. It had to take a tragedy like this one to remind us that if we are not together, we will be done Did you hear me O disorderos de Goa. Time to use your talents constructively or not at all. It might not win you any extra money from the "liberation" funds It might not get you any extra legal clients or the publicity you yearn It might not even wash away your own sins of vandalism - past and present BUT .... it might help the security forces keep their eyes focussed on the real problems Will ya please STOP this disruptive nonsense and do something constructive for a change. Enough of this destructive and bitter streak you guys are on. Will ya please grow up? This is almost 2009. 1961 done gone a long time ago. Enough of nonsense. Do not work if you are unable or unwilling But please do not destroy what little we Goans have. Please. jc A Goan who believes that we are a product of our multi-faceted influences The denial experts and revision nuts having been noted === 2008/11/27 Jose Agnelo do Rosario Pinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It has been more than 24 hours since terror began in Mumbai, and is still continuing. It is time for all Goans, irrespective of religion, to get united and condemn these terrorist acts. It is surprising to me that I have not seen yet a single email from Goanet readers contemning these terrorist acts. Today it is Mumbai, tomorrow it will be Goa.
